TRAVERSE CITY SHUFFLEBOARD GAMES CLUB Railroads Are Eager to Quit LANSING, 10--(UP)-Michigan's Public Service Commission is facing the peculiar situation of deciding whether railroads may give away their passenger services. Various bus companies in the state are willing. They even go i tar as to appear as "character witnesses" for railroads during hearings on petitions for abandonment of passenger service. Petitions by Chicago and Northwestern, and Pennsylvania railroads will go before the commission for the same reason. Thirty years ago the same railroads were fighting the same bus companies tooth-and-nail to protect these same passengers which then were theirs exclusively, according to railroad division experts.

The bogie in the attempt however, is an 1873 law which says each railroad must run at least one passenger train daily in each direction on its lines. Only respite for railroads is to prove such operations are a ship and there is no public need. Chicago and Northwestern testified in recent hearings it is losing annually in passenger operations on the 90 miles of track connecting Escanaba and Iron River. Pennsylvania railroad made the same complaint in the 137 miles of track over which it operates two trains daily connecting Cadillac, Petoskey, and Mackinaw City.

Residents and villages along the lines concerned however, have noH agreed. Their vigorous protests have led the PSC to send railroad division inspectors out again to investigate railroad claims and testimony. On Sept. 20-21 Chesapeake and Ohio railway officials will appeal- before the commission to ask permission to stop carrying passengers over 119 miles of track linking Detroit, Flint, Saginaw and Bay City. Immediately afterward on Sept.

22-23 the Ann Arbor railroad will appear for the fourth time in recent years to attempt abandonment of passenger trains over 2S7 miles of track connecting Ann Arbor, Owosso, Mt. Pleasant, Cadillac and Elberta. Railroad experts reveal that railroads actually started such aban- donments in the early '30's, taking advantage of the depression. They are not making any great effo'rt to bolster their passenger traffic, they add, pointing to antique 'coaches, awkward schedules and lack of advertising campaigns. Even railroad officials admit the only efforts at increasing passenger travel on branch lines lately have been confined to providing a ticket agent in.

10--(UP)--The highest ranking officer of the Hungarian armyand two members of parliament have been arrested as spies (or a foreign power and will be tried Sept. 16 with Foreign Minister Laszlo Rajk, it was announced today. Arrested were Lt. Gen. George Palfry, chief inspector of the Hungarian army and former head of the division of the ministry of defense, and Parliamentarians Pal Justus and Zoltan Horvath.

All three were elected to parliament May 15 and had been considered staunch Communists. First hint of the new arrests in the Hungarian Communist hierarchy was a communique by the Workers (Communist) party announcing that the three men had been expelled from the party on grounds they were spies "for a foreign imperialist power." The arrest of Rajk, former No. 2 man in the Hungarian Communist party, was announced 16. A communique at that time said 19 "accomplices" also had been ar- vested but only two were identified. One was Justus afjd the other was Drtibor Sconyi, former Communist leader.

Although no communique has yet specified what foreign power was involved in the alleged spying, an editorial in the Communist newspaper June 19 identified the Rajk groups as "American agents."

The island, popular for- deer hunters, also has a peak supply of squirrels waiting for hunters, the association is telling hunters.

Yugoslavs Off to UN Meeting BELGRADE, Sept. 10--(UP) -The strongest delegation ever sent by Yugoslavia to an international meeting left by train today for the United Nations general assembly meeting in New York Sept. 21. An official a noun cement of the departure disclosed that the delegation included Edward Kardelj.

vice premier and foreign minister, and Milovan Djilas, minister without portfolio. Both' are members of the Politburo, tile country's ruling body This was the first time that two Communists Politburo members Erorn any eastern European country have ventured into the western world simultaneously. It also was the first time that two Politburo members from any Communist-governed country had been sent to United States. The only Soviet Politburo to visit the United States while holding that position is V. M.

Molotov, former foreign minister. Other members of the YugoMav delegation were Alex Bcblcr, uty foreign i i Vladimir Declijer, minister of iniormatlon; Josef Djerdja, ambassador to Bulgaria; Milan Bartos, minister plenipotentiary; Lt. Veljko Micunovic; and Salko Fejic, deputy chief of the foreign ministry. The strength of the delegation indicated how seriously the government viewed its war of nerves with Russia. Inclusion of Djilas was particularly significant, since he directs the war of words with the Kremlin.

Kardelj is an old hand at international conferences. He was at the San Francisco meeting in 1945, the Paris peace conference in l')47, and the UN assembly in Paris last year. Hold Scholarship for Lost Latvian EAST LANSING, Sept. Freimanis, of Latvia, i have the American college education he desires, if Michi- an State College officials can locate him. They want to give him a scholarship.

But the young engineering student has vanished somewhere between here and a German displaced persons camp. The Michigan State Student Council named him recipient of a "community" scholarship financed by students, administrators (who agreed to waive tuition), local townfolk and businessmen. Necessary arrangements were made. A field agent in Germany said Friemanis planned to ioave for the United States 1 to live with an uncle, Arthur Berg, at 222 2nd New York City. A letter sent to that address advising Friemanis of the scholarship was returned unclaimed and unopened, council members learned.

The D.P. agent also had lost contact with him. Freimanis, according to his scholarship application, had a deep desire to attend an American university. After spending two years in Nazi slave labor camps during the war, he found himself homeless, unable to return to the Univerity of Riga in his native Latvia. Perhaps he is lost among the thronging millions in New York City.

Maybe he never reached the United States at all. But wherever he is, his Michigan State benefactors say they are still holding the scholarship open waiting for him to claim it. Gen. Feldman Gets' Post Back WASHINGTON, Sept. --Army Secretary Gordon Gray today announced that Maj.

Gen. Alden H. Waltt's application tor retirement has been approved and that Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman has been restored to duty as quartermaster general.

Both Feldman and Waltt. chief of the chemical corps, were suspended temporarily July 16 as a result of evidence dug up by the sen- a ttee investigating "five percenters." Both were friends of "influence salesmen" James V. Hunt and both testified before.the committee. In his announcement, Gray said he was restoring Waltt to duty-but not as chief of the chemical corps--and that he has approved his application for immediate retirement." Gray noted that, despite Waitl's "recent irregular actions," he had a 30-year record of good service. But, the secretary added, "I have decided that it would not be to the best interests of the service for him to continue his duties as chief of the chemical corps." Because of his previous good record, Waitt was put on the retired list In his present rank.

Feldman was clearer! but dray noted "he committed errors of judgment which I do not condone" in some "of his relations with a contractor's representative." Gray said he found nothing to justify courts'martial for either. He sairl he was convinced in the case of Feldman that "there will be no repitition of this lapse of judaement and that he is fully qualified to continue his assignment."
